2.2.154 `Timing_translator`

This engraver adds the alias Timing to its containing context. Responsible for synchronizing timing information from staves. Normally in Score. In order to create polyrhythmic music, this engraver should be removed from Score and placed in Staff.

Music types accepted: alternative-event, bar-event and fine-event

Properties (read)

alternativeNumberingStyle (symbol): The scheme and style for numbering bars in repeat alternatives. If not set (the default), bar numbers continue through alternatives. Can be set to numbers to reset the bar number at each alternative, or set to numbers-with-letters to reset and also include letter suffixes.
baseMoment (moment): Smallest unit of time that will stand on its own as a subdivided section.
currentBarNumber (integer): Contains the current barnumber. This property is incremented at every bar line.
internalBarNumber (integer): Contains the current barnumber. This property is used for internal timekeeping, among others by the Accidental_engraver.
measureLength (moment): Length of one measure in the current time signature.
measurePosition (moment): How much of the current measure have we had. This can be set manually to create incomplete measures.
timeSignatureFraction (fraction, as pair): A pair of numbers, signifying the time signature. For example, '(4 . 4) is a 4/4 time signature.

Properties (write)

alternativeNumber (non-negative, exact integer): When set, the index of the current \alternative element, starting from one. Not set outside of alternatives. Note the distinction from volta number: an alternative may pertain to multiple volte.
baseMoment (moment): Smallest unit of time that will stand on its own as a subdivided section.
currentBarNumber (integer): Contains the current barnumber. This property is incremented at every bar line.
internalBarNumber (integer): Contains the current barnumber. This property is used for internal timekeeping, among others by the Accidental_engraver.
measureLength (moment): Length of one measure in the current time signature.
measurePosition (moment): How much of the current measure have we had. This can be set manually to create incomplete measures.
measureStartNow (boolean): True at the beginning of a measure.
timeSignatureFraction (fraction, as pair): A pair of numbers, signifying the time signature. For example, '(4 . 4) is a 4/4 time signature.
